Hide Profile

Madison Smartt Bell (Princeton Class of 1979) is a native of Nashville, Tenn. His parents were friends with such writers of the Agrarian Group as Allen Tate, John Crowe Ransom, Robert Penn Warren, and Madison Jones, leading Bell to specialize in the Agrarians while at Princeton University. He received his M.A. (1981) from Hollins College, Va., and later, after living and working in New York City, Bell consciously moved away from the southern influences in his writings. He then settled in Baltimore, Md., with his wife, the poet Elizabeth Spires, where they both teach at Goucher College.
